The Mercedes 3 Series are nice. Problem is, the Princess has her son here and I am not too keen on kids (teenagers) climbing in and out of my vehicle. I do like a few of the new "muscle" cars. I am a horsepower fan. Maybe I will go that route? |

probably not, since the distances are different, north americans drive further and have less public transport options, so probably spend more on gas. being more car reliant and spending so much time in the car makes the requirements different.

come to calgary, our drivers are worse, and we have lots of snow. I found driving in vegas decent, the best place I have driven was southern california. havent driven in most states, but that one is good. montana is nice, hard to judge the drivers though, you can go an hour at 95 mph and not see a car in either direction

You never left the hearts of the Metal Family!
LOL I'm 44 years old and still sit at the "kids table" during big family gatherings. Still alot of older folk than me about and besides, I'm pretty sure the kids are giving me better conversation about music and concerts and college life. At least I don't have to hear the recounts of the lastest bout of stomach flu or something even more mundane. LOL

Hi ya MG!!! (Cripes...we need us a smiley that waves....)
Well...in another 40 minutes or so, I'm gonna be embarking on yet another training excursion involving an addition made to one of our existing routes....it goes into a whole other county. I went through it already, but it was the direction taken during the AM routes....the PM routes go the OPPOSITE direction, and I didn't want to do it wrong (as I'm doing the PM route)....it's not painfully difficult, but I will be driving it when it's dark, and the routes take on a whole different perspective at night. I hope they go the OTHER way today....else, I'm gonna have to take extra notes than I did the first time. Gonna have to squire me a left-right diagram too...just to be sure. I'm only doing it 3 days this week and 3 days the next before our new bids take effect....might have to avoid picking anything with the route 20 on it (the route that's had this new county addition)....these roads that cut through Burdett and Watkins Glen are murder in winter! |

They were acting like it was some major event! They even had the nerve to CLOSE the friggin schools!!!! The funny part is, the day they closed them, it was CLEAR and SUNNY!!! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

Btw. Vegas was on our news the other day. Supposedly, you guys havent had snow in decades, or what?

From what I can tell, she took the corner in front of my house a bit too fast and rear-ended it! Mashed in the driver's side taillight and rear quarter panel! The trunk was a bit buckled as well.

Thank you all. It was a bit of a surprise to say the least. I mean, it happened on New Year's Eve! According to her insurance company, she called it in the next day but I did not see any notes on the car over the weekend. In any event, I am grateful. The shop called me yesterday afternoon and said the repairs will take about two weeks and run almost $5,000 !!! YIKES!

I see... That is a lot of damage... Tho 5000$ still seems too much. But since the insurance company covers it... Its ok. It would be nice if people would chill out when they are driving, tho. Specialy in this weather.
Btw. Vegas was on our news the other day. Supposedly, you guys havent had snow in decades, or what?

From what I can tell, she took the corner in front of my house a bit too fast and rear-ended it! Mashed in the driver's side taillight and rear quarter panel! The trunk was a bit buckled as well. Then she took off! By the time I noticed it, there was no one around! She hit it so hard my car was turned nearly sideways!!!

Thank you all. It was a bit of a surprise to say the least. I mean, it happened on New Year's Eve! According to her insurance company, she called it in the next day but I did not see any notes on the car over the weekend. In any event, I am grateful. The shop called me yesterday afternoon and said the repairs will take about two weeks and run almost $5,000 !!! YIKES! The Princess is already in "love" with the rental we have ( A little SUV) so I am getting heat about buying her one! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant believe that I just said that...

People here cannot drive worth a crap so it was far worse than it would be in a place where there are not so many morons. Much ado about nothing, I can assure you.

Now, just wondering... When they closed the schools... How much snow was there? I remeber when I was in primary school, there were winters when we had up to a meter. The school wasnt closed for it not once.

They were acting like it was some major event! They even had the nerve to CLOSE the friggin schools!!!! The funny part is, the day they closed them, it was CLEAR and SUNNY!!! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! Just a stupid publicity stunt to keep us "in the news". I suppose I should not be surprised that you heard about it.

I see... That is a lot of damage... Tho 5000$ still seems too much. But since the insurance company covers it... Its ok. It would be nice if people would chill out when they are driving, tho. Specialy in this weather.
Btw. Vegas was on our news the other day. Supposedly, you guys havent had snow in decades, or what?

From what I can tell, she took the corner in front of my house a bit too fast and rear-ended it! Mashed in the driver's side taillight and rear quarter panel! The trunk was a bit buckled as well. Then she took off! By the time I noticed it, there was no one around! She hit it so hard my car was turned nearly sideways!!!

Umm... On second thought, keep it. On the house. The way you are you would probably want to go with a luxury ship instead of a plane...
Seriously tho, its nice to hear that that particular incident turned out allright. 5000$.... What on earth did she do to your car?

Thank you all. It was a bit of a surprise to say the least. I mean, it happened on New Year's Eve! According to her insurance company, she called it in the next day but I did not see any notes on the car over the weekend. In any event, I am grateful. The shop called me yesterday afternoon and said the repairs will take about two weeks and run almost $5,000 !!! YIKES! The Princess is already in "love" with the rental we have ( A little SUV) so I am getting heat about buying her one! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um...strat...the check's in the mail...HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!! |
